Gaga, I dare you to just once make a video as simple as this and just let the music speak

Youtube video

So simple just one camera panning out...no, not confident enough?

And that whole dragking thing is sooo old hat and tedious. The likes of Annie lennox and even Cher(ffs) did it with more sincerity and originality way back.

I thought she was pulling back with the distracting freakshow tactics but she obviously can't help herself.

And the songs a plodding bore.

meeeeeeeeeow!

Well it's basically just leaking her video on websites, if you type Lady Gaga You & I music video, this forum will probably be within 10 pages & its just spoiling it for Lady Gaga.

Not so keen on how many absurd costumes there are... I was hoping for something simple with this.

[Shaun]

k this is terrible. It's like 4 half-executed ideas all shoved together clumsily (OOH LET'S BE A MERMAID. OOH LET'S BE A MAN. OOH LET'S GO TO THE DESERT. OOH LET'S HAVE A WEDDING.

And the guy-gaga... cringe.

[Harry!]

I do agree though the video SHOULD of been more simpler then this. It almost uses the meaning of the song.

-Prefers Haley Reinharts version-

I enjoyed the simplicity of this video, different characters. Very good.

How exactly is it simple?

[Smithy]

it's on vevo now

hee

[Vladimir]

I agree that the video shoud've been simpler, but I like it.

[Jords]

Dont like it, the video doesnt complement the song at all... And it seems to me she is just using sexual imagery for the sake of it.

-also wanted it simpler-

[Doogle]

Edge of Glory was too simple, so this is a good way to make up for it. It's nice. I hate the weird sexual **** but the field bit and the mermaid bit is great.

Still think EoG shoulda been the big video like this and Yoü & I should have been simple but I do like it. Not as good as Judas/EoG but miles better than Born This Way.

[Captain.Remy]

Nowhere to be as good as the Edge of Glory.

She lost herself in this video. No storyline at all.

[Firewire]

Watching it again I realise it was a let down. Judas > this > EOG > BTW

[Jords]

Judas > EoG >>> Y&I >>> BTW

[Tom4784]

Too many ideas and none of them are put across well. She should have kept it simple with one central idea as the finished product is nonsensical because too much is going on with it.

[Niall]

Hmmm I enjoyed the oddness of it but I agree with others here that have said its a bit disjointed. Some parts I just did not understand, e.g that bit with her strapped down and him shoving that needle thing into her mouth. I mean wat.

It would've been much better if it was her going on a journey to the barn and meeting her former love there or something to that effect. There was just too much in that video for my liking.

But still I liked its quirkiness.

[LaLaLand]

I just don't get it. The video is too big for the song. Too much going in.

[Iceman]

Chaos

[Glitter In The Air]

I don't get it but it looks great.

[BringItOn]

that song is amazingg <3 been waiting for her to release this for ages

[Smithy]

omg yay someone figured out what it's about

Spoiler:

The story starts here:


Yuyi the mermaid and her lover live together in the barn. At the start, everything is well and they’re happy together.




Their dream (at first hers too, but mostly his) is to get married, Yuyi becoming normal and human. The scene is very dreamy and keeps persisting through the video, as something that could have been, but actually is unreachable.




Things start to get sour at some point. Yuyi, used to live in the ocean, has to live in a bath tub now and it’s not really best conditions for a mermaid. She’s also in the constant care of her lover and depends on him.



(the expression of relief she has after getting water thrown on her, like she didn’t get it in a long time because her lover was getting tired of taking care of her)

Also, her lover wants to have sex with her, but he can’t because she’s a mermaid.


Growing tired of this, he decides to try and turn her into a human. At first, she seems to go along with it because she loves him.
His first experiment is the brunette Gaga:



She has legs now :


But she still can’t live properly outside water:



So he proceeds to make more experiments on her, trying to ‘fix’ her, ignorant that he’s torturing her for his own wish:





My theory is that, as he does all these to her, she finally realises he’s trying to change her and she doesn’t actually want that. In the scenes with Jo, she finds the love for herself again:


So she starts to rebel.


When he manages to ‘fix’ her, she has legs and can live out of water, but she doesn’t love him anymore, after what he put her through. So she leaves him:
